what stuff do you use? Looks clean, probably look even cleaner in the flesh...

 

[mark_20vt]

its a process and a half!

wash/dry
meguiars clay
wash/dry
meguiars scratch X, 2 coats on bonnet/ roof/ scratches
meguiars deep crystal paint cleaner
meguiars deep crystal polish, 2 coats
Auto glym extra gloss protection

old matey on edition 38 recommended meguiars next generation tech wax to seal but i didn't have any n thought auto glym would do the job. I don't normally like mainstream off the shelf brands and generally stick to simple solutions stuff but what he says makes sense and he does it for a living for £100 a go so think he knows what he's on about!

could you copy and paste the document mate because it's not working. Does it really take out all the minor scratches etc....

think u gotta b edition38 member for link to work! oops! yeah it gets all the swirl marksout which are the tiny scratches caused by dragging dirty sponges over your paint. overall effect is a much deeper shine. well worth doin in my books...remeber no1 looks at a dirty car!
